Be It known that I, SEWELL A. Baooxs,'a

citizen of the United States, residing atStrykersville; in .t-heconnty ofiwyomingand Stateof New Yorlghave inventedcertain newa usefulImprove'ments in Painting Apparatus;

full, clear, and exactdescriptien oftheinven- -t en,such as will enable others skilled in the .art to which itappertains. to make anduse the; same, reference being had .tothe accompa-;'

. .pying drawings,' and to figures of reference 'marked, thereoin which form a part ofqthis specifieation. v --.M y invention relates to certain apparatus speclally-designed for use with an improved form ofpaintersscafiold, whiohforms the subject-matter'of anapplication filed by me n thje th day of May, 1894, the serial number .20

i My.invention-comprises broadlyagang- I brush consisting of two or more brushes ad- ;justably secured in a frame and adapted 'to -simultaneouslypaint} two or'more surfaces 2 smaller or -t'oolsbrushes adjustably secured in lying in. paral1elplaues and ;two or, more th'ejsame frame. and adapted to simultanei ously paint two or more-edges or surfaces perpendicular .to the first surfaces or planes.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 .is a side elevationjof myimprovedgang-brush. Fig; 2

is an end view of the same ,frame with theipo-I small brushes, and Fig. 4 isa view in detai't. .of the shut-oif use'd ou flexible tubes.--

Fig. 3 is a .detailiview showing the brush holder for the which is secured a rectangularfframeconsisting'of th'e and pieces 2i having secured theretothe outer cross-piece and the inte'rmediate cross-pieces 26on either sideof. the

thumb-nuts 30 in connection with the elongated slots 31 in the cross-pieces, 26. The flat brushes 28 are intended to be securedunifiormly at-an angle as shown so that they will register with the inclinedouter faces of a se- 1105 of clap-boards to be coated with paint.-

will simultaneously come in contactwith the lower edgesof the same series of clap-boards which are being coated with paint upon their outer inclined faces by. the series of flat brushes 28. Inthis manner we or moresu'rfaces lying in parallel planes can be painted simultaneously with two or more edges or-surfaces lying in parallel planes which are per pe'andiculainto the first series oi parallel-surfaces.

aclap boarded'wall can be unifor peditiously coated with paint t involving aconsiderable saving in time. y properly adjusting the position of the brushes in the With this improved construct? slots as .towidth a series of parallelsurfaces of ita/vying widths can be sim ultan eousl y painted Iii 1 the same manner.

Each of the flat-brushes 28 can be sepa-.

rately supplied with paint'from a reservoir by the i'ndi-vidual flexibie connecting tubes 37 connected and communicating with the common tube l'l't-hrough the stop-cock 4.0 to which they are separately attached.

In 0rd r toseparately shut off or regulate of brushly and exthe supply of paint to'auy one 'of the ilatbrushes '28 I have employed a well known device; constructed preferably of a single piece of springsteel consisting of the loop 41 provided \\itl1,cnd orifices 42 through which the tube 37 passes. The upner side of v ll senses that, if desired, all this can be dispensed with will lire guuglarusli without any flexible tubrul elus'l'ie connections, be supplied with W dipping into any suitable paint reservuir.

l -Ellen it is desired to paint large plane surfeces instead. of siding, the smaller brushes are iletuoliml sud tlieluruer brushes zul usted lug paint to the brushes it is evidentso that the ends of the bristles will be in a straight line.

I claim- A gang-brush consisting of two'or more brushes adjustably secured in a, frame and adapte to simultane y paint wo ounore.

surfaces lying in parallel planes and two or inore smaller or tool brushes adjustebly secured on the same frame and adapted to simultaneously paint two or more edges or surfaces perpendicular to the first surfaces 'or planes.

'In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
